Back to Attack (The Keyboard)
It felt like blogging died a few years ago. I know that it didn’t. There are still a few great ones out there, but overall, the platform just isn’t what it used to be. I know that I haven’t written with any regularity for years now. Scrolling through my feed seems to be mostly episodes…

Top 24 Albums of 2024 Countdown (WIB Rap Radio)
In 2009, I thought it was clever to make a Top 9 of 2009 list of my favourite albums of the year. The following year, The Top 10 of 2010 made sense too. I have kept the tradition going strong but this year I feared that I might have some difficulty coming up with two…

2025 is going to be a Square Year
This year has some pretty cool math behind it. 2025 is a perfect square. It is the product of 45 times 45. The last time we had a perfect square year was 1936 and the next one doesn’t come around until 2116. So let’s celebrate this magical year. 2025 is also equal to (20+25)squared 2025…

Spade of Citizen Kane on Word is Bond Rap Radio
Citizen Kane is one of the the best underground Hip Hop groups that Canada has ever produced. They have great albums and were probably the first rap group to ever have a documentary made about them, I wrote about it in the university newspaper back in the day. It’s been long overdue, but we finally…
